Perfect!

My family stayed for one night in April and it was such a positive experience. The owner was terrific in communicating with me start to finish. The home was very, very clean and all the beds received a thumbs up for comfort. We appreciated the owner having some snacks and coffee pods available so we did not have to shop for these for such a short stay. The home is so close to the campus it makes for an easy walk if that is the purpose of your stay. I hope our travels will bring us through Lubbock again as we would definitely book here again. Thank you so much Kali for sharing your home with my family!
